God's Own Country the directorial debut by Francis Lee about a young sheep farmer in Yorkshire whose life is transformed by a Romanian migrant worker.

Johnny lives on the family farm with his father, Martin, and grandmother, Deirdre. Much of the day-to-day running of the farm falls to Johnny. He numbs his frustrations with binge-drinking and casual sex, until he meets Gheorghe, a Romanian migrant worker, who is hired as extra help for the lambing season. Johnny’s fling with Gheorghe, the Romanian worker, reawakens his love of the land…

This is a captivating and beautiful film, which tells much more than a story about passion in the Pennines…
